Chapter 505: 489 collaboration bursts, fans dissatisfied

Hu Tao looked at Wenwen with a meaningful glance.

Young girls are just young girls, always so idealistic about everything...

Forget it, can’t be bothered to argue, she shook her head, "Anyway, just take rumors as rumors, don’t take them too seriously!"

Wenwen pouted stubbornly, "How can this be a rumor? President Zhou even had the contract ready! My BFF in HR said the information has already been filed!"

Hu Tao didn’t want to listen anymore and responded dismissively, "I hope Si Younian comes soon. The company is definitely going to hold a welcome party, so you should take more photos for keepsake."

Wenwen giggled, "I’ll definitely ask for a photo together~ How wonderful~ After President Yue arrives, things we never dared to dream of are now coming true~~~ Xue Yi’s successful turnaround, the company signing Si Younian, if at any point, they collaborate with Meng Chengchu from Zhongxing, I’ll rise from my coffin to follow the drama!"

Hu Tao shook her head, "You..."

On the day of Lidong.

DLRS’s official finally made the announcement of their new endorser for the year.

Countless fans were squatting in the live broadcast room, witnessing this historic moment.

"Wonder who DLRS has chosen? I guess it’s either a top-tier star or a super-first-line celeb!"

"Heard it’s Si Younian?"

"Although Si Younian is great, his international fame isn’t that high. It’s more likely to be Shi Qin who’s been highly anticipated! She has been in Hollywood for three years and has always had good results, with contracts with many fashion brands."

"Doesn’t necessarily have to be someone super famous, right? After all, DLRS wants someone influential, they could just pick directly from the Oscars. Why go out of their way to select a Hua Country artist? It’s obviously to tap into the Hua Country market~"

"Since it’s to tap into the market, it’s even less likely they’d choose some unknown little artist~ That would affect the brand image! I’m still voting for Si Younian!"

"Didn’t Sister Zhan, Si Younian’s fan site admin, say in the group? It seems like the deal fell through, heard it was a surprise drop-in."

"A surprise drop-in?"

"I just hope it’s some awesome surprise drop-in, if it’s a little-known artist, I bet Si Younian’s fans could throttle him once the contract goes public!"

As everyone was discussing heatedly, it was finally time for DLRS to announce their endorser live.

President John, holding the microphone, had a smile on his face gleaming with joy, seemingly truly happy.

"Next, I want to introduce a friend to everyone. Before entering the entertainment industry, he was a vibrant and upward-striving student. He looked forward to giving his best self to the acting profession after graduation. However, reality doesn’t always go as one wishes, he was obscured for many years, suffering many injustices and even dark treatments...

Just when he was about to give up, someone lifted the heavy shackles off him, letting this pearl finally shine through. His experience reminds me of the tough history of DLRS during its start-up period. Especially after talks with him, we discovered that despite all the hardships, his pursuit for his dream never changed!

Therefore, he will become our DLRS’s most perfect and deserving endorser for the new year! It is my honor to introduce to everyone, DLRS’s new partner—Xue Yi!"

The live broadcast came to this point, and the online discussions came to an abrupt halt!

The barrage stopped for a full three seconds before it started to furiously flood with question marks.

"What the heck?! Who is Xue Yi?! Why have I never heard of him?!"

"I haven’t heard of him either..."

"Damn it? Did Sister Zhan of Si Younian say it right?! Really a surprise drop-in?!"

In no time, several related entries quickly climbed up the trending search list.

It happened to be working hours, and many employed folks, while slacking off, heard the news and swiftly went to Weibo to follow the drama.

"What’s going on? Who the hell is Xue Yi?!"

"No way, why wasn’t my Younian chosen?!"

"What? I just checked! Xue Yi is an artist under Xingyue? And what’s Xingyue Media? Never heard of it, huh!"

"According to Baidu’s entry, it’s an old company established over twenty years ago in Spring City, but it’s never made any major achievements in the entertainment industry. I’d blindly guess it’s at most a third-rate company?"

"The thing is Xue Yi’s just an insignificant artist within Xingyue!"

"No! Wait! I could accept Younian losing to Shi Qin, losing to a top-tier celebrity, even to the recently popular Meng Chengchu from Zhongxing, but I can’t accept him losing to a third-rate artist from a third-rate company!"

"What’s going on with DLRS? What’s with their choice in people?"

"Could it be that Xue Yi has a powerful backer?! But the resources of a third-rate company couldn’t possibly compete with others, right? How did he beat the top companies to get the endorsement? Has the president of DLRS been brainwashed?!"

Soon, a marketing account released a edited video.

"Fans of the big names, there’s definitely something fishy with DLRS’s endorsement this time! Look, in previous years, the endorsement person was announced by Executive Director David, but this year it’s the president himself taking the stage?

And hey, to mix into the position of president, his eloquence and thinking are clearly sharp. Even if his own ability was inadequate, there should’ve been a PR team to write a speech in advance, right? But did you see how the president described Xue Yi? The most perfect, the most deserving? Aren’t these words a slap in the face to the previous endorsers? Weren’t they perfect? Were they undeserving?!"

After being prompted by the marketing account, everyone started to realize things.

"Damn! I knew something was off about today’s press conference! Although DLRS deals with high-end diamond watches and looks down upon us ordinary folks, their target audience is all either rich or noble. Isn’t saying such things offensive?"

"Yes, the past endorsers, like Jennifer, Avril, Vivian...aren’t each of them international top stars? Compared to them, Xue Yi’s status is like an ant being trampled by an elephant! And the president of DLRS actually calls Xue Yi the chosen one?"

"emmm, I’m a bit curious about who Xue Yi’s backer is, to secure such a huge resource and make the president speak against his conscience. If he’s that powerful, why is Xue Yi still with a company like Xingyue? Better to just sign him up with Hollywood directly."

"Makes sense! I’m going to see what Younian’s fans are saying."

"Hahaha, I’m going too."

DLRS’s official endorsement announcement didn’t receive positive feedback—just mockery and onlookers.

Frankly, such a scene is rare, but understandable.

Xingyue Media didn’t care about public opinion. After DLRS’s official announcement, they quickly posted a new Weibo update.

They not only thanked DLRS for reaching a cooperation with their signed artist, but they also revealed a piece of news.

Xue Yi and Si Younian would soon co-star in a film with dual male leads.

Ten minutes later, there was an uproar on Weibo.

"Wait a minute? Am I seeing this correctly? Xue Yi? With Si Younian? Making a movie? And it’s a dual male lead?"

"Excuse me, I’d like to ask if Xue Yi is some big shot worth co-starring in a film with our Younian?!"

"Xue Yi’s backer, please come out and explain!"
